What is Lybia? Do you mean Libya?

This is just small particles of radioactive material. Fukushima and Chernobyl radiation did not affect us! And what about nuclear bomb tests? Seems fine to me.

I don't want to believe this. A world war would star if the western world finds out

Ugh they're gping back and forth. Syria gets parts of their lands back, but ISIS just gains as much elsewhere

Spelling =/= grammar. Sometimes it's better if you keep your thoughts to yourself. Embarrassment isn't a very good look.

OT: I wonder how extensive intelligence is on ISIS tbh. There doesn't seem to be as much noise as there should be about them.

messT

This is getting far out of hand.

Someone needs to stop them and not be intimidated by them because I'm pretty sure they live off of fear and other bulls***...

Why does everyone jump directly to world war scenarios?

I live in Turkey and lots of my relatives died because of cancer after Chernobyl, it may seem fine to you but not for us.

He doesn't care. As long as he doesn't die, he's completely fine with entire countries being nuked and having millions of people die.

Well, I checked on Google maps, and it's over 10,000 km from ISIS territories to the coast of North America. The fallout would be inconsequential.

...You do realize there are people who live OUTSIDE of North America, right?

It makes me sad that ISIS has scarred such a beautiful country like Syria. The Syrian people have historically always been the most cosmopolitan and progressive heart of the Middle East.

I don't want the US to bomb the people you speak of. ISIS presents a threat to North America just like Japan did. No one questions the use of the atomic bomb in WW2, it was necessary to save lives. And look, now Japan is now a peaceful and modern country with good economy.

You know that's exactly what terrorists want to happen, right? They lack the resources attack a Western Nation head on so they do these minor terrorist attacks in the hopes Western Governments will over react causing the citizens of the Western nation to turn against the Government and end the war with the terrorists in favour of the terrorists. Sure, there's a 90% chance they'll fail, but that 10% is worth it.

See: Every single war of Independence from a major power who should've easily been able to stop it.

Western Governments have built their legitimacy on maintaining political stability. Having to kill millions of innocent people does not strengthen that stability.


The best way to deal with terrorism is to ignore it and not give it the publicity it craves, but that obviously can't happen with free media and people demanding action. That's why the Twin Towers are the most iconic image of 9/11 whilst the attack on the Pentagon is by far the greater military victory. Nukes look good on paper, but are bad in action once the fall out happens.

Um... I'm not talking about a ground force, I mean ICBMs. There's no way ISIS can stop them. And how would they fare against thousands of surplus thermonuclear warheads? Not very well. ISIS literally is made up of bearded guys riding on pickup trucks.

What would YOU propose?
